Adhara the Sea Green Butterfly

2010. The Sea Green Swallowtail is a beautiful butterfly (also called Papilio lorquinianus) member of the family PAPILIONIDAE from Australia.
This is my personal fairy version hope you like it... maybe, I'll decide to do other kind of butterfly

...Battito d'ala, dolce falena
quel che i' vidi vi narro con lena:
dama smeraldo, chioma fulgente
di mille cristalli ell'era splendente
e come la vidi i' persi favella:
avevo incontrato, Adhara, la Bella.
